Full Description


Over the last few decades there has been tremendous interest into the energy absorption behaviour of structures and materials for the selection and design of energy absorbers, the evaluation of crashworthiness, and damage assessment when subjected to an accidental collision. "Energy Absorption of Structures and Materials" studies this energy absorption in terms of materials engineering, structural mechanics theory of plasticity and impact dynamics. While a great deal of research is currently available on the subject, knowledge is widely scattered. Based on their extensive experience and knowledge in the field, the authors have collated this information into a systematic treatise on the subject. They focus on basic concepts, methodologies, physical behavior and simple analytical techniques that include examples illustrating application of the knowledge gained.This book brings together dimensional analysis and small-scale model tests, conventional experimental methods, modeling of local deformation under impact, and more into a fluid and practical handbook for researchers interested in energy absorption calculations and design of structures and materials against impact.
